CENTRAL HIGH TAKES
TUCK ODTJF ENEMY
Ancient Rivalry Results in
Close and Sensational Game
With South Side.
SPEEDS MILE A MINUTE IN NEW AEROPLANE ICE BOAT A novel ice boat, which is
driven by air propellers like an aeroplane. The picture was made at Red Bank, N. J., where
the appearance of the craft on the ice of the Shrewsbury river caused a sensation.
CORR MARVEL ON FLOOR
Central High won from South
High at the "Y" gym Saturday, by
a score of 20 to 18. The game was
rip and tuck from the call of time
until the final whistle. South High
should be given due credit for the
wonderful battle they put up against
Omaha. Corr, the South High cap
tain played a wonderful showing
playing the floor in great style and
incidentally making twelve out of the
total eighteen garnered by the South
High aggregation.
The Omaha team was forced to
battle the full time, but showed they
bad the fight by coming up from
behind in spite of ill luck in locating
the basket and emerging victors.
Tatty and Smith. Central High for
wards, bombarded the basket
throughout the game, but the ball
rolled out in a tantalizing manner
en numerous occasions. Smith also
piayed a great floor game, seeming
to be in on every scrimmage that
took place.
Midgets Are Active.
To the diminutive Paul Konerky
and "Turk" Logan should also go a
great deal of credit for the victory.
Although South High was forcing die
battle throughout, these men broke
up numerous plays that seemed to be
destined to end in two points for the
South Side. Etter and F.migh, South
High guards, were little behind
Omaha and made Central High, re
sort to long range shooting to win.
Maxwell, playing his first full home
game at center, played a fast game,
although his playing was necessarily
overshadowed by the wonderful exhi
bition put up by his opponent.
South High started out in a hurry
after time hill been called in the first
half and for a short time it looked
bad for Central High. South High
tallied two field goals before Cen
tral High was able to score and that
only a free throw. Towards the close'
of the first half the battle was fast
and furious with Central High rapidly
getting together and overcoming the
lead. The half ended with the SoulU
High side leading by a lonely tally.
Sensational Play.
On the first play after time had
been called in the second half the
ball was passed to Maxwell directly in
front of the basket. The latter leaped
into the air and put the ball through
the ring for the most sensational
basket made throughout the game.
Kttcr of the South Side was removed
from the game shortly afterward,
having accumulated Jour personal
I0UIS.
Smith followed shortly with a field
goal but Corr tied up the game at
eighteen apiece with a field goal and
free throw. Patty caged the winning
basket with several minutes to play
and Central by an airtight defense
maintained their small lead until time
was called. From the spectators'
stand-point the game was all that
could be desired with both teams in
the battle every minute and the scores
varying only a few points through
out. Omaha High will not play at home
next week,. but will take a three-day
trip into Iowa, playing Jefferson,
Boone and Fort Dodge in the order
named on Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday nights. The lineup:

NO REST FOR PETERS
Omaha High Faces
Hardest Part of
Its Cage Schedule
Central High school banket ball
live will tackle til c hardest part of its
schedule during the next three weeks.
If the team is able to successfully
weather the heavy schedule its
chances of copping the stale tourney
can be better judged. A tlircc-day
trip will be undertaken the latter part
of this week. Three of the strongest
high school teams in Iowa will be
faced. Jefferson, liooue and Fort
Dodge will be played in the order
named Thursday, Friday and Satur
day nights.
The following Saturday Central's
ancient enemy, Beatrice High will be
played on the home floor. Beatrice
does not seem to be going well this
year, having been defeated several
times on their home Moor. They have
only one man in the lineup left from
last year's state championship team
and from the form they are display
ing at the present time they will not
figure much in the state champion
ship. Another long trip will be under
taken by the team on February 23 and
24. St. Joseph Central High will be
played on tiie first date and Wichita
on the second.
Juniors Win Central High
Interclass Championship
The juniors won the Central High
interclass championship in a prelim
inary to the Central-South game at
the "V" Saturday night, winning, 14
to 11. Smith, Gfeen and Foy led the
juniors to victory and displayed good
teamwork. Gilfry was the star for the
seniors with two field goals. The
freshmen defeated the sophomores in
the opening game, 9 to 2, leaving the
sophs in last place in the race for the
school championship. The lineups;

American Cavalry Sent
Against Mexican Force
F.l Paso, Tex., Feb. 4. Troopers
belonging to the Fifth United States
cavalry arriving at Columbus with
refugees report that a detachment of
the Eleventh United States cavalry
has been sent from Ascension to Sab
inal, sixty miles below the border,
where the rebel leader Salizar has
been reported with 400 men. This
news was brought here tonight by
passengers from Columbus.
That five preliminaries instead of
the usual two would be staged preced
ing the main bout was the gist of an
announcement made by promoters of
the Joe Steelier-Charlie I'ctcrs wrest
ling match at the Omaha Auditorium
Friday evening.
The semi-windiip. as previously an
nounced, will be between John Fcsck,
the sensational Buffalo county mat
marvel who sprang into fame in the
wrestling game recently by standing
Karl Caddock off for an hour without
a fall, and an Omaha heavyweight yet
to be selected. In addition to this
semi-windup, which in itself would be
the main attraction on many a card,
four other matches will take place.
The Teddy Brothers will give their
rube wrestling stunt to open the show.
Following this Kudic Warner will is
sue an open challenge to any middle
weight in the hall. Half a dozen lo
cal middleweights have announced
they will be on hand to accept
Warner's defi.
John Pesek's younger brother, a
lightweight grappler of no mean
ability, will go on with Jack Reynolds,
the little Omaha grappler, who lias
been cutting such a swathe lately. The
fourth bout will be between young
Gotch and Fred Mintlen. both of
Omaha.
Thus in its entirety the wrestling
program Friday night will include six
bouts, all between Nebraska boys.
Despite the fact it was Sunday
Charlie Peters did not let up on his
training yesterday. He cut out the
morning stunt, but in the afternoon
tussled for over an hour with half a
dozen training partners in addition to
doing considerable gym work. Charlie
has so nearly reashed the proverbial
pink of condition that his weight
hardly varies at all now. If condition
has anything to do with it Peters will
give Steelier more than a run for his
money Friday.
Boy Accidentaly Shot.
Pierre, S. D., Feb. 4. (Special Tel
egram.) Henry, the b-ycar-old son of
Albert J. Hohrough of Fort Pierre,
was killed last night by being shot
through the head, while he and a
small brother were playing with a
lific, which they had secured during
the absance of their pacuts from the
house.

Ames Foot Ball Ledger
Shows Good Balance
Ames, la., Feb. 4. (Special.)
Ar.ies foot ball last fall lacked a few
hundred dollars of equaling the gross
receipts from the gridiron in 1915, ac
cording to the figures of the last sea
son compared with the financial re
port of 1915 which was accepted this
week by the athletic council.
Last fall the gross income from the
gridiron game was $19,513.39, as com
pared with $19,954.57 for the year be
fore. The total oitfgo for foot ball
was $16,569.42.
In 1915 the only sports that paid
their way were base ball and foot ball.
Basket ball, tennis, track and wrest
ling all called for deficits on their account.
